In Nagazora City, a golden pillar of light appeared, connecting heaven and earth. Unlike the previous two times the golden light appeared, this time the pillar didn't seem to carry the same inviolable, heaven-like majesty and killing intent. Accompanying the golden pillar was a faint, ethereal song, a song that seemed to rise from the bottom of one's heart... like the voice of the soul itself.
"Raiden Mei, let's hurry over and check it out!" Kiana said, her eyes fixed on the golden pillar of light piercing through a dilapidated building not far away, like a hungry wolf.
Not long ago, they had seen that golden pillar more than once, but every single time, they had missed it... When the pillar appeared, they were usually in a building. Just climbing down a dozen floors... all they would see was the desolate autumn wind rustling leaves... So, they couldn't miss this opportunity!
"Okay, Bronya, let's go!" Raiden Mei, for a rare change, readily agreed to Kiana's proposal. Her curiosity was no less than Kiana's, and besides, nothing strange ever happened after the golden pillar appeared.
"But... Bronya detected a reality-warping field..." Bronya Zaychik said with a worried expression, but before she could finish, Kiana interrupted her...
"Charge! Awooo~" Kiana shouted, taking the lead and running towards the golden pillar, her fist raised high, laughing like a child...
"..." Li Xuan, who had closed his eyes due to the blinding golden light, slowly opened them, revealing his deep, dark eyes that were like the night sky. He looked at the weapon quietly floating above the Gate of Vows...
"..." Li Xuan was dumbfounded when he saw the weapon floating there. He and his friends were all shocked!
"A guitar?!..." Liv, standing beside Li Xuan, said with some surprise, her pink, cherry-like lips slightly parted in astonishment, revealing a pair of cute, pearly teeth.
...What is this?! Wasn't it supposed to be a Divine Weapon?! What am I supposed to do with a guitar?! Am I supposed to pull out a guitar and break into song and dance in the middle of a fight with Honkai Beasts and Honkai Zombies?!
Li Xuan felt that his whole world was falling apart...
The weapons from the last two golden light pulls were cooler and more handsome than the last—a pistol and a personal rocket launcher. He had thought that the weapon this time would definitely be an even more powerful and stylishly designed Divine Weapon. Who would have thought... he would get a blue guitar... (╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻
This made Li Xuan feel the world's immense malice... although this guitar was quite good-looking.
"Master~ Master~" Liv called out softly by his ear. Li Xuan suddenly snapped back to his senses.
"Sigh~ I hope it's at least somewhat useful..." Li Xuan sighed and thought to himself. He hesitated for a moment, then reached out and gently gripped the neck of the guitar.
The red Stigmata on the back of Li Xuan's right hand flashed brightly. A torrent of information exploded in his mind—the five-star weapon "Diva's Guitar"! Its skill was...
Liv, who had been worried that her master might be unhappy, suddenly noticed that his previously gloomy face had cleared up like the sky after a rain, revealing a refreshing smile. 'Looks like this guitar isn't too bad~' Liv thought to herself.
Not bad, not bad at all! After reading the information about the weapon in his mind, Li Xuan was in an exceptionally good mood. He had thought it was a useless weapon, but to his surprise... this weapon's ability was simply heaven-defying!
"Liv, we..." Li Xuan said with a smile, but he was cut off before he could finish.
A sudden development interrupted him. The floor beneath them suddenly shook violently, as if hit by an earthquake.
Li Xuan quickly crouched down to stabilize himself and prevent from falling. But Liv stood as if her feet were rooted to the ground, completely motionless.
"Master, what is that?!" Liv suddenly pointed towards the window. Li Xuan quickly stood up and looked. The tall buildings outside the window were gone, replaced by a stage that resembled a pop star's concert venue. Several screens floated around the purple and blue stage, and colorful spotlights on the side of the stage lit up.
"...What is that?!" Li Xuan watched this scene in shock. "Go!" Li Xuan hurriedly put the newly acquired weapon into his ring and took out the backpack from the ring to put it on.
"This is it!" Kiana pointed at the building in front of them and said to Raiden Mei and Bronya Zaychik. The golden pillar of light had appeared from here.
"Let's go in and take a look!" Raiden Mei said. She walked forward and was about to open the door.
"...Beep beep~" The tracker in Bronya Zaychik's hand suddenly beeped. "Hmm?..." Bronya Zaychik picked up the tracker with some confusion. The little red dot on the map had reappeared. The location was... here?!
Click~
Just as Raiden Mei reached out her hand but before she could touch the door, it was suddenly pulled open...
Standing by the door was a handsome young man with black hair and black eyes, followed by a beautiful young girl in a well-tailored black and white maid outfit.
"Ah!?" Li Xuan looked up and saw Raiden Mei's slightly surprised, beautiful face.
"Well~ this is a bit troublesome..." Li Xuan said with a helpless, somewhat awkward smile.
